I bought to replace a bulky coat thinking it would be warm. But it's only good for about 50º weather, definitely not 40º with wind. This has to go back and I have to find something I can wear for the winter.And what one person wrote about the arm holes is true. This seems fitted up top and looser fitting through stomach and thigh Maybe this would work best on pear-shapes.

What a nice change in style for a parka. I really love the look and fit of this jacket, BUT was highly disappointed that it is only good for early fall or spring as there is no "real" lining to provide for winter cold. I was so hoping to keep this but I needed a warmer winter jacket so had to return it. I agree that it is a little to expensive for the limited time I could wear it. Convert this to a warmer version and add a hood and you will have a winner jacket!

This is actually a very nice looking coat. It can be dressed up by adding a scarf too. It is typical "soft shell" fabric which is lightweight and has some stretch. I disagree with the previous reviewer about the fabric. I don't think it's like rubber. It's warm enough for 40's and 50's and seems to be wind resistant. There is no hood tho, which I like but can live without. The fabric has a nice crosshatch print on it which gives it some interest. I bought the taupe color and I really like it. I am 5'3 130lbs and I got the petite medium and it fits well. I would say the only complaint is I don't believe it's worth the price. At around $100 even on sale it's a bit expensive for what it is. However, I'm disgusted at how much everything has gone up in price so maybe it's in keeping with the $4 gallon of milk.

I really want to like this jacket, but poor quality sewing just really bugs me. Sadly, I will be returning it.

The seaming details on the outside are very pretty, and the collar lays very nicely and is flattering. I liked the fabric very much, too.

The upper sleeves are cut so that you cannot raise your arms. The armhole is a little too high and tight, so you really can't wear this jacket over a sweater, or anything with long sleeves, either.

The pocket lining fabrics are quite bulky. They are folded and seamed in a rather strange way that seems to just make them even more bulky.

The zipper was badly sewn also. It is very ripple-y near the bottom, and causes the lower front of the coat to bulge in an ugly fashion. (This is also a place where all those multiple layers of pocket-lining come together.)

On the positive side, it is proportioned pretty well for tall ladies (except for that armhole thing.) The waistline falls just right and the sleeves are a nice length.
